Nine Patch (nine-patch quilt; Ruth Pettway Mosely; ca. 1955; Souls Grown Deep Foundation ; unavailable)

Note: An exuberant, triple-sashed “Nine Patch,” which refelcts traditional Euro-American quilts but with quintessentially African American execution and design. This African American influence is seen in the way the blocks are arranged as well as the choice of colors. The skewing of the elements, widely supposed to have been dictated mainly by need when a maker ran out of a particular fabric, is not necessarily random. The strips‘ variable widths are just as likely to have been a conscious design decision.
